Interesting and personal tour! - We enjoyed this tour with Istanbul Walks and guide Tayfun. Tayfun provided a personal and informative tour. He grew up playing hide and seek in the Grand Bazar and could tell us how the Bazar originated and how it evolved up until how it is today. Great tour for everyone in the family.

Excellent guide! - Fukran is just an excellent guide.
A pleasant person, full of insights and truly passionate about the city. All that you need in a guide! He offered us several tips for the city and was not pushy at all in the Bazaar and let us do our thing.

There were only 2 of us which made it very special and Serhat was in no hurry to move us on. He explained the art of bargaining and took us to some special places we would never have found on our own. At the end of the tour he recommended a place for lunch which was amazing and also ensured we knew our way back to the hotel. Thank you Serhat for the introduction to wonderful Istanbul.</p>

I definitely would not have been able to appreciate the history and see the little hans, gold and silversmiths with out Serhat. Went in the morning when all the shopkeepers were just opening and setting up for the day, the best time as the bazaar was not crowded.</p>
